The Goodfellas’ Smile Straight Razor 5/8 Round Point

Product Overview

A true straight razor from Italy: K720 steel with a hand-made grind, a 5/8 blade in the forgiving round point, semi-gloss finished, on a black resin handle with a red insert and a torx-screw blade fixation.

The 5/8 round point is the classic recommendation: enough blade for a full face, a rounded tip that forgives the angles a beginner has not learned yet, and K720, a proven carbon tool steel, taking and holding the fine edge that carbon does best. 100% made in Italy, per the listing’s standing specification.

Product Specifications

What This Razor Is

A straight razor is the destination of wet shaving: one permanent edge, maintained by you, shaving exactly as well as your hands have learned to make it. The round point is the profile that lets those hands learn safely.

The specifications are this listing’s established ones: K720 steel, hand-made grind, 5/8 round point, semi-gloss finish, resin handle, torx fixation, made in Italy. As with all true straights, it wants a strop for daily upkeep and an occasional honing; we sell Parker’s USA-made Latigo strop on this site.

Who This Is Best For

How To Use It

Strop before each shave: spine leading, flat on tensioned leather. Shave at a shallow angle with the skin held taut, short strokes, round point doing the forgiving. Dry the blade completely afterwards.

Carbon steel and water are enemies: the drying at the end of the shave is as much a part of the routine as the stropping at the start.

Care and Storage

Wipe and dry the blade fully after each shave, strop daily, and expect an occasional professional or stone honing as the months pass. Store it dry and open-aired rather than sealed away damp. Never leave carbon steel wet.
